Can we say we obsess enough?

253 million websites devoted to diet, another 30million just for liposuction.

How many of us can say we honestly thought about surgery like liposuction? I am talking to the ones who do not need it, but consider it anyway. *sees a lot of hands going up*. So why do we think that? Have we become so lazy in life that we are always looking for the quick fix?

23 million sites can be found on diet pills. This is a case of demand people, these sites would not exist if people were not actively looking for these things. One has to wonder though, why after countless times of people failing, and hearing stories of people failing, do we always go back to the quick fix. That magic pill that will turn us into airbrushed model god. These companies pray on us the most, the ones who fall off, time and time again. They sit there and sing there sweet chorus of "come to us, stop trying so hard, this is so easy."

Case in point, my grandfather, (we call him Bobba) is probably weighing in at 500 pounds. So he decided he wants to live better and goes off to herbal magic. ( A store that sells those magic pills.). What do they want in order to help him loose weight? 14000$ for one year. 14 grand for pills.

How much do I spend on weight loss right now?

40$/month for gym
300$ for a bike in a week.

That is it, yet people are willing to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to try and get a magic fix.

Your best bet? Work at it, get in shape, you will feel better about yourself. Than, when you reach your goal and you are fit, take those thousands of dollars and go on a vacation where you can show off the new you.

Taking pills does not make a lifestyle change, and what we need in order to win this battle is a lifestyle change.
